The rising cost of living is cause for concern for people all over the world. But what can you do to reduce costs and keep yourself warm through the winter months? The UK government has outlined a number of measures that it has, and will continue to have in place to support those in need.
The government backed Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Scheme has been put in place to give support to people who need to improve the insulation in their homes through cavity wall insulation or loft insulation.
The UK government has deemed it a legal requirement for the main energy companies to install energy efficient technologies such as cavity wall insulation or loft insulation to domestic households in the UK, or face hefty fines.
The government has outlined a list of categories to determine whether you will be eligible for 100% free funding; you can see the list and apply here:

Assessing the insulation in your home and making improvements where possible can reduce your energy bills and save you on average £300 annually. As 25% of your heat is lost through your roof and a third of all heat can be lost through uninsulated walls, improving cavity wall and loft insulation is a great place to start.
In addition to providing energy grants and home insulation funding, the UK government is also offering loans via the Apply Green Deal. This scheme helps you to make energy saving improvements to your home, but it needs to be paid back.
Using the Apply Green Deal scheme you can get help to pay for improvements to insulation, heating, draught-proofing, double glazing and renewable energy generation.
